#MUSLIM NATIONS can only gain their freedom from the rule, exploitation, wars & genocides of the West by progressively replacing Western weapon systems in their inventories with those of their own. There's no ifs, ends or buts about it!

💥 #SIPER #AirDefense system provides the #Muslim world and beyond with not only "just another" #NATO-spec solution for airspace #security, but also (arguably) the most technologically advanced one, at a **CHEAPER** price point than other Western alternatives! 🇹🇷 (MightyMilitary)

🇮🇱🇵🇸 As both #Netanyahu and #Eisenkot struggle to secure a ruling majority, #Israel's "#Arabs" have never mattered so much before in the short history of the Jewish state; a rare situation that might finally give a voice to their silent minority. ⚡️ #IsraelElections

🇦🇿🇦🇲 #Armenian parliament just voted on and approved the #ZengezurCorridor that connects brotherly #Azerbaijan to its #Nakhchivan exclave, now called the #Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (#TRIPP). Although opposed by Iran, the route creates an uninterrupted path between Türkiye & Azerbaijan and is expected to significantly boost regional trade. 💹

Nope. Türkiye's military presence in #Cyprus is fully LEGAL under international law, as per the 1960 Treaty of Guarantee and subsequent bilateral agreements with the Turkish Republic of #NorthernCyprus. Any presence in #Syria is likewise legal and coordinated with #Damascus.

🇪🇬🇹🇷 #Egypt is reportedly evaluating fellow #Sunni power Türkiye's #EEZ offer, which grants #Cairo over 15,000 square kilometers MORE territorial waters than a previous agreement with Greece. A new Turkish-Egyptian deal would also block direct Israeli maritime access to Greek waters, complicating #TelAviv's regional designs. ⚓️

🛰️ Türkiye is preparing to become the 7th country to operate an indigenous space-based #GPS/#GNSS system as #defense giant #Aselsan prepares to launch its first #AstraLink satellite to orbit in 2028. Also referred to as #GÖKBAĞI in Turkish, the constellation will eventually reach 198 spacecraft and provide complete global coverage, according to reports citing CEO @AhmetAkyol at #IAC2026. Analysts expect #Astra to utilize Türkiye's own space launch capabilities now in development in #Somalia. 🇸🇴🇹🇷

Türkiye’s National Intelligence Academy has published a new report on Israeli expansionism, and the Horn of Africa is at its center. It calls Somalia “one of the clearest arenas” of the Türkiye-Israel rivalry, describes the recognition of Somaliland as part of a strategy to encircle Türkiye, and says Israel indirectly backs Sudan’s war through allied states. @miaedutr redseaaxis.com/news/turkish-…

One year after the RSF took El Fasher, more than 90 percent of its people are gone. Of the up to one million who sought refuge there, only 70,000 remain. Amnesty’s new report describes a city ruled by fear: torture, executions, ransom and surveillance in RSF detention. And the UAE, which arms the RSF, is now campaigning for the top job at the UN. middleeasteye.net/news/every…

Did you know that 🇹🇷 Türkiye's #GAZAP is currently the most destructive non-#nuclear warhead in #NATO on a "per kilogram" basis? 🧐 Its Mk-84 form factor (907kg) fits 453 kg of TBX (thermobaric fuel) and 10,000 steel balls ― vaporizing what it hits & dispersing to >1km radius. 🔥
